Feed Your Focus with Patience and Persistence

Hello, Everyone! This is very exciting. It has been so long since I have written any content on this website, and I am sincerely grateful to return. I wanted to educate everyone on how to hold oneself accountable. This is of paramount importance because it sets the trajectory for one's life; however, allowing oneself the time to reflect on well-defined goals is crucial. Furthermore, to fully appreciate success, one must be willing to underscore what they want to accomplish. In this article, I will discuss how to overcome the biggest barrier to success: lack of focus. There is a plethora of distractions in one's life, which makes it simple to lose track of what one desires.

Fueling for the Long-Term Road Ahead

Happy New Year, Everyone! Each year brings the opportunity for self-growth, improvement, and perseverance.

I cannot answer "how do you define success?" because success is not a destination. In my experience, there is no secret formula or differential equation to model it; however, perhaps we can state the question in a way that I believe has more of a cohesive relevance: "how does one strive for success?". Furthermore, I have found three tenets that are of utmost importance when foraging one's path towar...
